Oh No You Didn't!

Oh yes I did! I went and got married. I swore to myself and others that I would never do that again. But that was before I met and fell in love with cat. Never thought I'd ever run into anyone remotely like her. She of course earned my collar and shortly after the collaring ceremony - which was private - I realized she will never be able to experience marriage in SL so long as she was with me (which will be forever). She deserves to experience the craziness of an SL wedding so we setup an altar outdoors at our skybox and invited a bunch of friends.

Cat had lots of fun shopping for the items we would need to pull this off. Animations, pews, decorations, clothes, rings, etc. Women love to shop! I'll admit, so do I sometimes. She got just as much enjoyment out of decorating the setting for the ceremony too. For her wedding ring we chose an Earthstones design. I have an issue with the creator at Earthstones due to a past request for customer support, which was ignored, but she sure does make some great looking stuff. My ring is a Master's ring from the same shop. Darren, Zuri, Emi and Gefter all agreed to being in the wedding party. Cat picked out the ladies gowns and because Darren and Gefter's tuxes were too different looking, Emi made sure Gefter's matched Darren's. Broxton officiated the ceremony. He was sporting his demon form.

Not as many people showed up as I anticipated. But because the total number of avatars the region can process is 20, the 14 total we had at the ceremony and the 6 others at various locations on the ground worked out just right. Emi would not let me up to the skybox before the ceremony so I hung out at Gef's place for a bit then he and I went to the Cherry Street club to wait some more. Finally, a few minutes after the ceremony was to start, I was given the official okey-dokey to arrive and take my place at the altar. And setup the music stream and tend to the exposed poseballs, get my vows out and in a handy location and same thing with my ring. All of this needs to be ready before hand because the last thing one wants to do is fumble through inventory looking for the items/information that you need.

The Kiss

So the door opened on the house which was my cue to play the bride's march. Well, there was a 45 second delay so that song was cut off before it started because cat was well on her way to the altar in her stunning and sexy wedding day gown. I do not get to see her in such fine clothes very often as she dresses according to my rules which requires her to dress in the barest of minimum, and sometimes with even less clothing than that. So this was a breathtaking treat for me. I suddenly felt the urge to take her out to formal dances more often. She took my breath away.

We stood together at the altar as Brox began the ceremony in traditional and fine fashion. Cat's vows to me were very moving, honest and deeply heart felt. Mine to her were pretty much the same except that I had to force myself to not ramble on and on, as I have a tendency to do from time to time. After exchanging vows, we exchanged rings. Then there was the kiss and finally, I tossed her over my shoulder and carried her across the threshold of our home. Cat calls this the "caveman carry" but I like to think of it as just one more way of my owning her ass. 

Unfortunately, I had to leave right after the ceremony as real life work was not leaving me alone. But I knew I could finish my work up quickly and return to my blushing bride's arms. Just as I said my goodbyes, one of the brides maids mentioned something about a male stripper. I had to smile as it seemed odd they would have a bachelorette party AFTER the wedding ceremony? So I thought it was just a joke at the time. By the time I finished my work and logged back in, sure enough, they were throwing a bachelorette party for cat! She was so wound up and excited as I teleported her to me that I had to tell her to take a breath and tell me all about it. You know how strippers can work up a crowd!

Realizing we did not have much time to spend together due to her RL responsibilities, we danced for a little bit and just talked about our future together. Later that night was the reception. That was one of the best parties I've been to in a very long time. Cat was radiant in her gown as we danced the whole night away. I danced with Princess Rose and Emi and Ambriel as well, but most of the night was spent with cat in my arms. There was supposed to be a DJ there playing tunes for us but he never showed so I setup a playlist of some of the songs cat requested and some of my usual stuff mixed in and away we went, dancing and partying with friends all night long.

Archer showed up and had made a gift of pictures from the ceremony for us which we gladly accepted. There was too much going on for me to be taking many pics. Clancy was there too and so was Brox and his new pet. Darren and Zuri made a few videos of the ceremony for us to keep and watch which was very thoughtful. We also played trivia and as usual, Darren got most of the answers really fast. Ambriel showed up toward the end of the reception. Unfortunately her arrival coincided with some unexpected drama which was dealt with as quickly as possible. We also knocked around the idea of holding an orgy there but Brox protested stating that there was no nudity in his club. So rather than upset anyone, we simply let it go and called it a night.

As with any wedding, there were unexpected miscues and mistakes, but nothing major and it was a fun time had by all.
